Started for fun & calm now stressed

Help! 🙋

I’m doing this for something to do when I’m bed-bound from multiple chronic illness meh and can’t face the TV or music but need something. Initially, I thought it was really cute but now…. not so much ! I started a few days ago, but today reminded myself that I’m actually rubbish at these things. Within a few days people seem to have loads of money (I’ve made fish sticks but forgot to sell them to Sophie), tons of plants, clothing changes, married, feeding themselves for energy (I keep remembering I need to get coffee and then the cafes closed - so I’ve already had flu ) , well… I’ve got hardly any money, very few plants and I’m coming to a standstill (although foraging and supplies from collecting weeds, stones and whatnot is good). My mashed brain can’t work out how to go back and forwards to different places. I keep on having to look at the map because I forget where to go 🫢😫😝!! What have I done?!! I’m so embarrassed to even share this because I feel old. I keep on wanting to have a look and try, but then I just get too worn out & fatigued. After watching some YouTube videos I changed it to relaxed settings because it was getting too much to try and do tasks at the normal level! I also can’t keep up with all the quests and things I’m meant to be doing. I forgot I’m meant to be placing a beehive, there’s a desk to build, the mine to repair (but again I keep forgetting the times that Parker is around in his workshop), the socialising, watering the plants….It’s starting to feel a little bit like my current real life! I’m in overwhelm city and it seems to be a mirror of my life- the one I work so hard to keep on track but ADHD unwell brain!
